Vikings' Key Play

September 10, 2000

When you have speedy receivers and a good running back, there are plenty of opportunities to spread the defense. The Vikings utilized those chances last week by having QB Daunte Culpepper (11) run 13 times for 73 yards and three touchdowns. On this play, the receivers and running back Robert Smith (26) occupy defenders, allowing Culpepper to run a QB draw up the middle. The key for the Vikings will be blocking LB Zach Thomas (54).
